What is int13h?

We've spent years trying to work this one out and in the end we decided we
didn't like the answers we came up with. So, like any dedicated group of people, we forgot about it for a decade. Then the
question reared it's ugly head again, and we thought about it some more. After a good
couple of seconds or so we decided it probably wasn't worth the
effort. That's why there has been more website redesigns than there has been
content.

What is The Gibson?

The Gibson is the workhorse of int13h, it pumps the oil around
the the int13h towers and without it, you wouldn't even be reading this.

Through the years The Gibson has been seen in many forms, some pretty, some not
so much. It's dedication to the endless task is unwavering and has never been questioned. It has seen
all forms of operating systems, wildly exotic hardware and crazy cooling
systems. It has never been anything less than interesting and uncooperative. It
is an enigma of its own twisted wreckage and maybe, just maybe, one day it will find peace
and we'll get a fully compatible hardware/operating system for us to abuse.

What is the Heavy Engine?

It's the dirty, dirty little engine that could. Seriously it's dirty. It takes the
stuff, puts other stuff in that, shines it up real nice then in a medium bowl
it beats cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually it will add the
sweetened condensed milk, beating constantly. Oh god yes. When half of the milk
has been added, it adds the lemon juice and beats until smooth. Of course after
that it will add the remaining sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth.
Finally it will pour into graham cracker crust and chill for at least one hour.
8 servings.

What Technologies did we use?

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible (including
Pentium® and Athlon™), amd64 compatible (including
Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T), ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, PC-98 and
UltraSPARC® architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of
UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is
developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional
platforms are in various stages of development.

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an
open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and
Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient
and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the
current HTTP standards.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system.
It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture
that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity,
and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux,
UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows.

jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML
document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for
rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you
write JavaScript.

jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation,
advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the
jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive
web applications.

jQuery.Hotkeys plugin lets you easily add and remove handlers for keyboard
events anywhere in your code supporting almost any key combination.
It takes one line of code to bind/unbind a hot key combination.

This plugin is yet another product from my development work on Build It
With Me. I wanted a sweet & simple custom tooltip, but nothing I found
seemed to be smart enough for what I needed. I needed a custom tooltip
that behaved just like the browser tooltip, and that is exactly what
TipTip does!

Processing.js is an open programming language for people who want to program
images, animation, and interactions for the web without using Flash or Java
applets. Processing.js uses Javascript to draw shapes and manipulate images
on the HTML5 Canvas element. The code is light-weight, simple to learn and
makes an ideal tool for visualizing data, creating user-interfaces and
developing web-based games.

DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly
flexible tool, based upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, which
will add advanced interaction controls to any HTML table.
